Setting up qmake to run "Hello World"

Hi,

I have a problem compiling my first "Hello World" program with qmake. I am using QT 3.3.4 with Debian Sarge and gcc 3.3.5. I first compiled the Qt-Tutorial 1 from the Trolltech website by directly calling gcc without any problems:

Code:

---

gcc -o qt1 main.cpp -I$QTDIR/include -L$QTDIR/lib -lqt-mt

---

Next I wanted to follow the direction from the tutorial and use qmake:

Code:

---

qmake -project
qmake
make

---

The last call to make gave me a long list of errors:

Code:

---

g++  -o qt main.o    -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lX11 -lm
main.o(.text+0x30): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `QApplication::QApplication[in-charge](int&, char**)'

What makes me suspicious is the first line containing a call to gcc, using X11 libraries and not Qt libraries...

Does your project happen to be in a directory named "qt"? Add "TARGET = something" to the .pro file and run "qmake && make".

Thanks, it works now! The problem was just my stupid directory name... :o

Now the needed qt-library is linked correctly against my project.
